one of my favourite past times is reading about people who've done and how they did it. my favourite entrepreneur of all time would have to be richard branson. i read his autobiography for the first time back when i was fourteen or fifteen. he was just a high school dropout with big dreams and delusions of grandeur. i plan to follow. i am sure i will have several posts featuring him in the future.today, whilst reading about the reduction in the total number of world billionaires from 1,125 to 793 from 2008 into 2009, i stumbled upon an article about the russian paris hilton: anna anisimova. the daughter of russian metals magnate, vasily anisimov, found that her father was no longer a billionaire when the forbes list came out in march 2009. the new york city socialite had worked the social scene since aged 18 in 2004 as a student at new york university. she bought expensive real estate downtown, midtown and uptown and rented palatial properties in the posh hamptons. became friends with club owners and promoters. she is following the script left by this man: noah tepperberg. the man who made paris hilton. click the picture for the article at portfolio.com.
